Okay first question. Do I need the client for netware networks on both comps to get IPX/SPX to work? Because IPX/SPX always to refers to NetWare. Second is, Win 98SE has Clients for Netware Networks, but Win XP home edition keeps tellin me the database don't exist and it asks me to run the driver from a disk, "have disk." I have run a system recovery disk, so that might of screwed it up, and I don't want to run it again to find the driver. So is there any place i can download and install this driver onto XP? What driver is it?
-
Don't use the Windows provided clients for novell. Download the appropriate client from the novell website.
-
Do you have any suggestions for a client that runs IPX/SPX (from Novell)? Otherwise I want to know how to recover these missing clients.
-
Hmm well I'd go to the novell website and search for the appropriate client based on what operating system you're installing to. But that's me.
-
I did go to the novell website to download a client a while ago, but I guess I should have asked for what version of the netware client does Win XP home edition have. They offer netware 6.x. I'm pretty sure there is something older.

John can you explain more on this project you have under took...to play games on!!!!via the net or..home networking....i dare say is the net....as you maybe aware the netblui....it runs the risks of port scanning and crackers...update us on what you are trying to do..and more posters may help you...someone knows out there...
-
Yes, I am trying to play games that only work over IPX/SPX. It turns out I have a bigger problem. When I go to install new network clients, it turns out it can't find the drivers. How can I recover them?
(I don't have XP CD).

see if this link helps you>http://www.techno-link.com/wown/Doscl3up.htm

It turns out, that this game can run on NetBIOS over TCP/IP, so thanks for the help anyways.
-
Okay sorry folks, I got the game to work over netBIOS, but it is so slow you can't even play. You move two pixels, wait five minutes and the same thing over and over again, I'm sure IPX is about 40 times faster. I looked at the sight Merlin, it didn't help much, any good tutorials on how to set up IPX/SPX between Win 98SE and Win XP?
-
I donloaded an old version of Novell netware client but i don't know what server im using. To set up TCP/IP, I just added the client to both computers and it worked, shouldn't it be like this for IPX?
-
to find the server ipconfig/all in the command prompt...hope you have a good firewall..those port scanners...are something else...alexa is a good one...and apropos....ati .dll..i have my share.. ;D
-
So the server I was looking for was the DHCP server?

info>http://ruttkamp.gmxhome.de/dhcpsrv/dhcpsrv.htm and if you use a sygate firewall you can... the use whois....program...

Well, between XP and 98SE, I have a Novel Netware Client (downloaded), one for XP and one for 98SE since the same one can't work on both, incompatible versions. And I want them to communicate over an IPX/SPX protocol. From my understanding, IPX/SPX ONLY works over novell netware. Novell's netware client keeps asking me for a server, and I don't know what my server is. I can't use the DHCP server: one, because I don't know what the client is looking for (just DHCP or the actual IP address, either don't work). Two, DHCP assigns IP addresses, and I want IPX/SPX. So if anybody is familiar with the old Novell netware client 4.x, i could use some help. Unless there is another way to run IPX/SPX.

the server is the one that is linked to the modem and router....like 192.68 etc....yhave you assigned them all...so for example...192.68.01.00 198.68.01.01 etc..you are using mshome yes...

I typed that in under server, but it told me it didn't exist. There is also the options tree and context. MShome is my workgroup.

have a look here>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/ and i was wondering if the problem is sp2 firewalls? not allowing you to play games on win98 on the net....maybe you need permission....what site is this you are trying to use...(1)are you sharings games at home....(2) playings online games....(3) sharing and playing old dos games via the net.......192.98was.. an example?
-
This is an old dos game, it is not over the net. I don't believe that IPX/SPX goes over the net. I set up a LAN at my home, and this old DOS game only works on NetBIOS over TCP/IP or IPX/SPX. NetBIOS was (extremely times 1000) slow. So Now i'm trying IPX/SPX on a home network. I don't think there is an internet involved here.

These sights have to do with TCP/IP gaming and connections, I need to configure Windows 98SE and Windows XP to communicate on BOTH TCP/IP and IPX/SPX.

read more about the settings?http://forums.enterpriseitplanet.com/showthread.php?threadid=1247

By the looks of it, this guy got it to work. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I am over a WAN, I don't have a direct cable. This is what I have installed.
On the Win 98 SE computer:
IPX/SPX compatibale protocol -> xxxxxxxxxx
NetBIOS support for IPX/SPX protocol
Client for Netware networks
On the Win XP computer:
Client for Novell Networks (Win XP SP2 v4.x)
NWlink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS compatiblie transport protocol
NWlink NetBIOS
For the Win 98SE computer should I make primary network log on Client for Netware networks? I am given the option to log on in Netware but I don't know what my server is. How do I find that out?
